Abstract
The present invention relates to recombinant glycosyl transferase UGT72E3/2 gene having an excellent syringin synthesis ability based on remarkable enzyme specificity for sinapyl alcohol, a method for producing a transgenic plant with increased syringin production based on a metabolic process which uses F5H and CHS genes that are involved with the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and Myb58 gene as a transcription factor for positive regulation of the gene that is involved with lignin biosynthesis pathway, and a plant obtained by the method. According to the present invention, syringin with various pharmaceutical applications can be effectively produced in a large amount in a plant, and thus it is expected to allow the development of an industry relating to agrobiological materials that are highly valuable as foods or pharmaceuticals.
